Hi Matthew,<br>
<br>
I must be missing something. Granted I'm working from an automated<br>
English translation, but as near as I can tell it says, "you must<br>
first choose between the creation of a sole proprietorship (EI) or a<br>
company (choisir entre la création d'une entreprise individuelle (EI)<br>
ou d'une société)." And then never says another thing about sole<br>
proprietorships.<br>
<br>
Also that seems to be a page for France in general, not Martinique in<br>
particular.<br>
<br>
Regards,<br>
Bill Herrin<br>
